This Saturday evening in Páirc Esler, Newry is the last chance saloon for the Westmeath footballers as they take on Derry in their final group game in this year’s All-Ireland Senior Football Championship series.
Believe it or not, it is also the last chance saloon for Derry. Yes, Derry. The reigning Allianz League Division 1 champions, the team that beat Dublin in the League final and when they did, the team that became one of the favourites for this year’s All-Ireland title, yes, the team managed by Mickey Harte, adored by so many, yet loathed by some.
